A couple of months ago Mr.. Hill-told
some Yankton gentlemen that about
the first of August he would be able to
spare considerable force of graders
from the Montana line OF the Manitoba
for work on southern extensions of his
road. A Wlllmar dispatch of the 2nd
inst Gays large force of graders has
reached that point from Minot and has
begun work upon the Willmar & Sioux
Falls section of the Driuth line. This
fulfills the promise of Mr.. Hill and con-
firms the accuracy OF his plans. There
is hardly even hitch in any OF his ar
rangements. While Mr.. Hsll has not
promised to rush this work with the
speed exhibited in construction in north
Dakota and Montana, he has said he
could do it if he wanted to and has in
ferred that he might want to. All his
promises have thus far been faithfully
complied with.

HALLS

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
many years Doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with To-
cal treatment pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven Catarrh to be con-
stitutional disease, and therefore requir
es constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure now on the market.
It is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly
upon the blood and mucus surfaces of
the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send
for circular and testimonials. Address,

What do you think. governor,
about the grape culture of California,
and the making of wine as concerns
commerce hereafter?"
"Unquestionably the grape is our
greatest production. For long time
we thought it impossible in California
to make good wine. Among those who
had tried the experiment it seemed i'm
possible for some time to get the ne
cessaIy degree of flavor and dryness.
After became governor of the state,
and the vineyard interest extended. /
was frequently presented with bottles
and baskets of wine raised in different
parts. They were go inferior that L
finally stopped opening them. Among
others there was an old Frenchman
who had brought his experience in
France to vineyard work here. He
gave me some wine which | did not
open at all, and it lay in the cellar
certainly ten years, and perhaps ff-
teen. There were some people out
here who wanted to test the oldest
wines we had-some English and for
eign people-and, therefore, our old
French wine was dragged out, and
when it was tasted there were excla-
nations of surprise and pleasure,
whereupon l called for the bottle, and
found it was old Monsieurs wine,
which 1 had almost forgotten. The
fact was that this wine had evaporated
and improved by time, and that is one
of the causes of the present quality of
our wines. We keep them and let
them mature. The Americans knew
nothing at all about wine-making in
the first place, and even now in the
east many of them think that wine is a
product to be drank as soon as it is
made.-Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Relics in Indian Graves.

The vicinity of Bantam lake, says a
Litchtield, Conn.,, letter, abounds with
implements and relics of an extinct
race of Indians, who made the shores
their camping-place and the backwocds
their hunting ground. Specimens of
arrow-heads, axes, bowls, pipes and
beads have found their way into near
ly all the college collections of Indian
relics, and curiosity seekers may often
be seen hunting the fields for rare OBJ
jects. Few Indian graves have been
found in this region, although it is
generally supposed that the bones of
stalwart chiefs and their followers lie
somewhere near the lake. On We'd
nesday of last week a grave was found
on the farm of Amos Benton, which
will undoubtedly lead to further dis
coveries.
The grave is in the center of large
sand-pit, near pine forest. The land
is quite low, and few years ago was
covered with water. Workmen who
were removing sand for business pur-
poses noticed an isolated spot of black
loan about five feet wide and ten feet
long. In this soil was round pieces of
skull, thigh-bones, and vertebre, the
skeleton evidently having been in a
sitting posture. With the bones were
several trinkets, n stone pipe-bowl,
and finely cut flint arrowhead.
Yesterday another grave was found
and more bones unearthed. The az
row-heads taken out are very perfect,
the edges being as keen as when first
made. The flint is of kind not found
in Connecticut, similar to varieties on
Long Island. With the bones in the
grave opened yesterday were several
pieces of black stone, which, when
rubbed on the wet hand, give a red
stain of the shade seen ON the painted
cheeks of Indians. These are believed
to be the pigments used for war paint
ing. The last Indians known to have
lived here were peaceful tribe, and
the last of them did not disappear un-
til thirty years ago, but the graves dis
covered on Mr.. Benton's land are be-
lieved to be of former tribe, and at
least 200 years old.

1 know small boy of tender years
who is going to give himself an awful
lot of trouble when he grows up. He
has developed a strong taste for me-
mentoes, and he keeps them all care
fully. We all keep mementoes when we
are young. But this small boy keeps a
book in which he records in full detail
what those mementoes are; e. g.:
l. ga stone taken from the lot where
Mr.. June's new house is built.
2. ga piece of red wood picked up
in the back yard of Mrs. Flaherty's
cottage"
The book is full of this kind of thing.

thing as it came up. he reached a thin
strip of redwood.
whats this?" asked his uncle, hand
ling it very irreverently. The boy

Men With One Leading Idea.

Poe has observed, says an article in
| Chambers Journal, that every man has
pet word or phrase which he uses
frequently (the ''impalpable insane"
of Carlyle and the "lucidity" of Mat
thew Arnold are instances in poinD ;
and it is almost equally certain that
every man has pet idea. In some it
is difficult to discover what that one
idea is; in others it is very prominent
The desire to master ones trade or pro-
fession is, we need hardly say, very
laudable; but when a man has no
thoughts for anything else, and cam
! not open his mouth without talking
| ''shop," he is simply an intolera BILE
bore. Lord Beaconsfeld, indeed de-
fines the true bore as that man who
thinks the world is only interested i'll
one subject, because he can only COM
prehend one"
Most notable men are handed down
to posterity by their own idea; but
] there are many exceptions to this rule
| We are told of q celebrated comedian
| who, by some strange infatuation
| thought himself destined to excel in
tragedy, and was much mortified when
on benefit nights he played Romeo and
| the audience insisted on receiving it
as burlesque. The one idea of
Charles Reade is well known. He was
not content with his fame as novelist,
| but wanted to become famous as dra-
| matist also, and there are a few living
| authors who are quite as ambitious.
Probably one of the most remarkable
men of one idea was Lord Palmerston,
who could think of little else but for
eign politics. An amusing story is
told of him in the "Greville Memoirs. :"
The Queen" says Greville, told
Clarendon an anecdote of Palmerston,
showing how exclusively absorbed he
is with foreign politics. Her Majesty
has been much interested in and
alarmed at the strikes and troubles in
| the north, and asked Palmerston for
details about them, when she found
that he knew nothing at all One
morning after previous inquiries, she
said to him: Pray, Lord Palmerston,
have you any news? To which he re-
piled: No, madame: l have heard
nothing; but it seems certain the Turks
have crossed the Danube" The fact
that Palmerston at this time was not
Foreign Minister, but Home Secretary,
adds point to the anccdote.
Some of our Judges are men of one
idea. A short time ago learned
judge had never heard the name of one
of the most popular actors OF the day:
and another asked: What is bac-
carat?" which had been mentioned in
the course of case tried before him.
At length, however, there are signs
that their lordships are becoming con-
scious of what is going on in the world,
and that they occasionally glance
through newspaper. When one of
the counsel in a recent case called Mr..
j. l.. Toole and said, ~ GU are known
as Mr.. j. l.. Toole, the lessee of Toole's
Theatre" the Lord Chief Justice tri-
umphantly exclaimed, I'VE all know
that" This is certainly hopeful
sign.

Some Chinese Legends.

There is a bridge about fifteen
miles from Annoy with single stone
about seventy-five feet long. Moth
ing is known of how or when it was
put there. One of the things about
which something seems to be known
is a tower ninety feet high on head
land near Annoy. The headland is
about eighteen hundred feet high.
The story is that pirate routed the
Netherlanders who had made a settle
ment on the island of Formosa in the
sixteenth century. The women were
captured and one of them became the
wife of the chief pirate. She is said
to have had this tower erected as a
landmark for her husband, so that he
might know when he was nearing
home from voyage of plumber. One
of the legends is about the cue, which
is said to have been imposed on the
Cinnamon by the victorious Tartars
about one hundred and eighty wears
ago. At Annoy we frequently see
Cinnamon wearing turbans with their
cues hidden under them. Some saw
these turbans are worn for protection
against the heat. Another story is
that Fokiea was the last province to
give up to Tartar domination and that
the turban is worn to hide the mark
which is a reminder of Tartar victory.

Japanese PoIiteness.

Politeness is the one marked virtue
of this people-not apoliteness OF mere
etiquette, though there is great deal
of that, and very studied and labored
it is-but politeness evidently COM
ing from the heart, genuine and kind
ly, and extended to the laborer as well
as to the gentleman. Women, chill
dren, and light-loaded men step aside
with cheerful alacrity to let the poor
sikisha man pass, which is most charm
ing to behold If he happens to iostle
against one he is met with joke. Not
once have l yet seen sullen or angry
look from any one who was requested
to give way. At home would have
been cursed or blackguarded dozens
of times had / made the runs l have
here done through densely crowded
streets. When large party is out in
jnrickshas they follow each other in
close proximity. If a bridge, rut, or
bad place is encountered the foremost
man utters cry which is caught up
by the next, and so on to the last, each
man evidently trying to Tighten the
labor of the other
At night each man carries a Japan
csc lantern. The effect of these in a
long train is very bright in a dark,
unlighted street. Added to this the
cries of the men, the meeting of a
hundred others, all rushing, bending,
and twisting in the tortuous lanes or
narrow crowded streets, you can read
lily see how charming such a run must
be. The men in cities wear short,
tight trunks from just above the hip
to the upper thigh. They start out
with sort of tunic or shirt over the
shoulders; if the weather be warm
they throw off the upper covering as
they run. In the country instead of
the trunk is simply clout about the
lOins-narrow and full in front, run
ming between the legs in little more
than a ribbon, and caught on a band
over the hip. In this garb a party
will start from a village or town. AS
they run one after another strips off
his light upper garment; and are stall
wart, sweating Adams, clothed with a
scanty fig leaf. This is done in the cities
by men drawing natives, or loaded
vehicles, but is to considerable ex-
tent avoided by those who run for
foreigners. In Toxic and here those
about foreign localities wear the trunks
and close-titting shirt-always blue
resembling our undershirts.-Ca
